structure with many neurotransmitter and hormone receptors and are responsible for the recognition and G

protein-mediated transduction of odorant signals. The olfactory receptor gene family is the largest in the

genome. The nomenclature assigned to the olfactory receptor genes and proteins for this organism is independent

of other organisms. (provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008)
